Harder To Hide You may have noticed a change You hear it in the happy tone in my voice Now it's so easy to laugh and smile I just want to sing and rejoice My past is a wilderness plain With scenes of sorrow and a pain-weary pride A mask perfected goes undetected But love is much harder to hide Love is much harder to hide I put all my feelings on ice And carried on with my nonchalant smile Poise and composure would pull ne through Along with deceit and denial. But now there's a spring in my heart I wipe away the tears I secretly cried I'm revealing what I was concealing Coz love is much harder to hide Love is much harder to hide TPT SOLO My heart was a book no-one read You won't believe how many people have tried Was there a lover beneath the cover? You know now what goes on inside Coz love is much harder to hide.

An Unfamiliar World There's a fish Swimming around a little lake And she's beginning to feel the strain. Round and round she looks for love But everyone she meets Has lacked a certain warmth. Her blood is cold And so is her environment And she won't stop her quest for love. The tide has turned She dreams of eggs But not to eat of course, She wants to get them laid. As she looks around Hunger takes a hold It dominates her mind A fishy kind of mindset. She smells some food Grabs it and takes a bite But something sharp has stuck inside her mouth. She's pulled up fast and high Into an unfamiliar world An unfamiliar world An unfamiliar world

Something Fluffy Why can't we leave it all behind? Let's think of how we'll fill the hours. We'll go for all the healthy options A life of beneficial salads and flowers There's something I saw the other night (I watched it with you, remember?) A man and his wife were baking bread (We'll have to find out how that's done) Their working week was in computers But now they've gone for something fluffy instead. Dreaming and planning their lunch With a buzz in the air Off set their footprints with candles They bought at the fair. They seem so much happier than us (And she seemed so much prettier than me) Perhaps we should follow where they've led (Would that be Italy or France?) Let's sell the DVD collection And go for something fluffy instead. Dreaming and planning our lunch With a buzz in the air Off set our footprints with candles We bought at the fair. Let's make a list of things to do (I'll go and fetch a pen and paper) Include all those books we've never read (You must remind me what they are) And try to get it all completed Before the day when you and I end up dead (That won't be for a long, long time) When life becomes so hard and crunchy It's time to go for something fluffy instead.

Cats Go Out To Kill Morning brings a bird On the garden lawn Where a danger lurks within He's unaware that yards away A pair of eyes - a big surprise A happy cat starts her day. As the morning wind Rushes through the air Instinct starts to rule her will Thoughts go through her mind So cruel and so unkind Coz cats go out to kill. The bird will never flap his wings We'll never hear the song he sings We'll never see the life he lived before. This time he never got to flee Or occupy his favourite tree He's lying dead upon the kitchen floor. Perhaps I should explain That life and circle thing But that won't wash away your tears It's hard for me to tell a child This was done - just for fun Not like it is in the wild. Watch her walk around Proud and satisfied Now that she had her thrill Don't get too upset about a callous pet Coz cats go out to kill.

This Room 03:46
The chair on which he sat has taken on a life of its own. The warmth, the ghost, the scent, the echo of a soft beguiling tone, The very air he breathed have made this room a rare enchanted place It won't be long when I see this room lit up by his face. To think it's been a week since he turned this weary life around He came at just the point before this sorry ship would run aground. But now the days ahead are more than just a dizzy dream's delight They'll be my starry destiny, path of a fantasy flight. In the past I never understood Why hearts would not function as they should I was like a car that fails to start His key now turns the engine of my heart. This room may well appear exactly as it did a week ago But every other sense detects a golden aura and a glow My joy is everywhere as long as he's around and in my sight This is my starry destiny path of a fantasy flight.
